CLIFF CLIMBERS IN PERIL.
Exciting Adventure at Folkestone, England,
of Two Foolhardy Young Men.
A correspondent writes to the London
Telegraph: "a party of visitors who are
staying in Folkestone we're this (Tuesday)
morning viewing that part of the coast
known as The Warren commonly called
in the locality Little Switzerland from
the remarkable resemblance which it
bears to certain districts in the lower
regions of the Alps, when their attention
was attracted by loud calls from the cliffs
above, which rise here to a height of from
400 to 500 feet from the wild and rugged
under-cliff below. After considerable
difficulty they were enabled to make out
at about fifty feet from the top two young
men who, after a foolhardy attempt to
scale the face of ono of the most danger
in such position that st ore glance from
those below it was seen that unless speedy
aid was forthcoming from the top of the
cliff nothing could save the climbers from
a terrible death. Large pieces of chalk
from beneath their slender foot-hold we're
already falling into the under cliff, so
that their position became more critical
at every moment. One of those below
Mr.. E. Clarke, of London-at once dis
patched younger brother across the hills
to small house known as the Warren
inn, about mile distant, for aid in the
shape OF ropes and men, while another
party, Mr.. S. Marsh, also of London,
went with considerable danger to himself
as far as possible up the face of the cliff
to attract attention, if possible, from
above. In very short time a party ar
rived at the top with the ropes, and at the
imminent risk of his own lite, one of
them, local policeman named Bolton,
clambered down from the top as near as
possible to the two unfortunate lads, who
were standing immovable, with their faces
toward the cliff, and with the aid of his
comrades above succeeded in lowering q
rope, which the elder OF the two young
men placed with much difficulty under
the arms of the other, and without further
delay he was hauled to the top in safety.
A second time the rope was lowered to
the remaining unfortunate who with great
difficulty placed himself within the moose,
and was also hauled to the top in a faint
ing condition, and cheers from the on
lockers. The young men rescued turned
out to be two brothers who were staying
in Folkestope, and whose names were not,
in the excitement, ascertained. Great
praise was given to the landlord of the
Warren inn for his speedy aid in sending
ropes and to the brave fellows vino volun
tsered to the rescue. The lads stated that
when discovered tkey had been in their
awful position for fully an hour"
